I just listened to the Fed Chair's speech. He indicated two things regarding jobs:

1) Jobs are not decreasing, they're just not increasing as quickly as he'd like.
2) Changes in immigration policy are offsetting, albeit not 100%, the slowdown in jobs creation. So the balance of open jobs hasn't increased that much, but the bar is lower.

Point being, he did not call out tariffs as the cause of job losses. He did leave open the possibility that tariffs or something un-named are slowing job creation. You can decide for yourself if you subscribe the Fed Chair's analysis.

"aiming to do for AI training data what ASCAP did for music royalties"

That is to say, extort the people consuming the data, keep most of the money, and screw the people who generate the data. I'm not saying there shouldn't be some better definition of how content creators should be compensated by the AI trainers, but modeling after ASCAP is about the worst idea I've heard.

If only someone would apply that philosophy to space.

That's right. And the new BLS administrator is almost certain to figure out why the long-term employees have been consistently producing wildly inaccurate results, and remedying that situation one way or another. But it's unlikely they'll be able to do that until confirmed. Until then, we're likely to continue getting inaccurate results.

You must be suggestion one of two things. Either A) these new revisions are politically motivated and false or B) Trump has some ability for his current actions to affect past results.

It's clear that you haven't spent much time around D.C. Everybody at the top of every organization gets replaced when a new Administration comes in. True, the rank-and-file are generally long-term employees, but their direction comes from the top.

Trump's "new director" isn't confirmed by Congress yet. It's still the Biden folks producing these numbers. All this conflation about not trusting "Trump's numbers" is misguided.

And all your files are stored on OneDrive by default. Sub runs out and now you have to figure out how to move all your files, or start paying $50/year or whatever.

Then don' t buy it. I don't either, but I don't see how TrumpCoin's existence hurts me any.

Yes. This is nonsense.

The media did what? Covered who?

"Drugs are bad, M'Kay?"

The Fortress of Solitude was in the Arctic right? It gets pretty cold up there.

No content is free. You pay by watching their ads. If your goal is to watch without watching their ads, then you are going to have to jump through hoops.

I'm not defending it. It just is.

In my years of reading comments on /. it's been clear that the percentage of folks here use Chrome much less than the global averages. I point this out only as comparison. Commenters on this site are quite atypical relative to the whole of society when it comes to technology for sure, and I would suggest in other areas of life too.

Poison is bad for kids, and other living things too.
